For forty-five years the surviving members of the gallant 45th regiment of Civil war veterans have kept in touch with each other by holding an- nual reunions but of the gallant band of almost two thousand men who fought under the regimental flag dur- ing its four years in service only twenty-six answered to the roll call at the reunion at State College last Friday. And of these twenty-six men the eldest (G. W. Loner) is 84 years old and the youngest (George C. Deter) is 73, while the average age is 77 years. Realizing the fact that another year may witness still further inroads in their ranks by Father Time they decided at their business meeting Friday morning to make this the final official reunion of the association, and because of that fact we publish at the head of this article the honor roll of the twenty- six grizzled veterans who have weath- ered the storms of more than fifty- four years since the final gun was fired which saved the Union from dis- ruption and welded it into a nation that now ranks foremost among the nations of the world. Owing to the fact that this was voted as the final gathering of the old soldiers there was little of im- portance transacted at the business meeting aside from deciding to carry the old officers as an official head of the association. A vote of thanks was also tendered the people of State College for their splendid entertain- ment and a vote was extended to W. H. Fry for the very complete arrange- ments made for the day’s gathering. The veterans spent the afternoon as guests of the people of State Col- lege on an auto trip through the col- lege grounds, to Boalsburg where they were warmly welcomed by Major Theodore Davis Boal and shown through his museum of world war relics, thence by way of Centre Hall, across Nittany mountain and back to the College by way of the western penitentiary. At six o’clock a banquet was serv- ed the visiting veterans and their wives at the Nittany Inn and at eight o’clock a campfire was held in the old. chapel. In the absence of Dr. Edwin Erle Sparks, president of the College, burgess J. L. Holmes made the ad- dress of welcome which was respond- ed to by A. J. Davis, secretary of the association. Other addresses were made by Judge H. Walton Mitchell, of Pittsburgh, president of the board of trustees, who spoke in behalf of State College as an educational insti- tution; Rev. Wilson P. Ard and Clem- ent Dale Esq., of Bellefonte; J. T. Marshman and Hon. John Hamilton, of State College, and as a fitting cli- max to the evening’s meeting a short talk by J. C. Armstrong, a young sol- dier who lost an arm fighting in France. Before the old soldiers dispersed from the College a number of the veterans agreed that inasmuch as there will be no reunion of the sur- vivors next year they will make it a point, if living, to attend the na- tional G. A. R. encampment at Atlan- tic City and at least hold a little get- together meeting at that time. —1If you failed to see “The Heart of Humanity,” at the Scenic yester- day don’t miss it today. It is a pic- ture everybody should see. Miss Dorothy Phillips carries the leading role and never appeared to better ad- vantage than she does in this picture. | JOHNSTONBAUGH.—Prof. George | W.

On page 5 of this issue of the “Watchman” will be found the an- nouncement of the Pastime theatre, State College, of the showing of Douglass Fairbanks’ newest picture, “His Majesty, the American,” to be shown October 10th and 1ith. This is his first independent production under the “Big Four,” and exceeds in expense and preparation anything at- tempted before by him, as well as be- ing about twice the length cof his pre- vious pictures. The management also announces early showing of the biggest features just being released. Among them is “Broken Blossoms,” D. W. Griffith’s newest masterpiece, which has only been shown so far in New York, Phil- adelphia, Boston, Chicago, Los Ange- les and San Francisco. It began an engagement this week in the Du- quesne theatre, Pittsburgh, and im- mediately following the Pittsburgh run it will be presented at State Col- lege. Top prices of $1.50 to $3.00 have been charged wherever shown, vet it will be presented at State Col- lege at popular prices and critics pro- nounce it the most artistic thing Grif- fith has ever accomplished. Armenian-Syrian Relief Director in Town, Rev. J. Calvitt Clarke, D. D., direc- tor of the Harrisburg office for the Near East Relief committee, was in Bellefonte yesterday in the interest of that organization. Dr. Clarke, who has just returned from war work in Europe, stated that conditions in the countries of the Near East are deplorable. Little children are to be seen stripping the flesh from the bodies of animals that have fallen dead of starvation in the streets and devouring it raw. Hu- man flesh is being eaten and one woman was found with the body of a baby in her oven roasting, which she in her hunger-crazed condition intend- ed eating. People are cracking open human bones and extracting the mar- row, which is eagerly devoured. Many thousands of lives are being saved by the Near East Relief com- mittee and the latest reports receiv- ed from Armenia state that the Brit- ish and American governments are protecting the four hundred or more relief workers of this organization. About $5,000 has been raised in Centre county for this cause, by, Miss Mary Linn, county chairman. — eos War Savings Division Re-grouped. At a recent meeting held in Phila- delphia the war savings division of the Third Federal district was re- districted into three groups instead of four. Group No. 3, of which W. Harrison Walker, Bellefonte, is chair- man, was so changed that it now takes in a tier of counties in the cen- tre of the State extending from the Maryland border to the New York line. Northumberland and Montour counties were cut off of the group but five other counties were added, name- ly, Blair, Bedford, Mifflin, Hunting- don and Cambria, and in addition to these the following counties are in- cluded in the group: Union, Centre, Clinton, Elk, Tioga, Cameron, Lycom- ing, McKean, Potter and Clearfield, a total of fifteen counties. Union coun- ty still leads in the Eastern district with a per capita of $3.91, while Cen- tre is second with $2.09. Now that the public schools are in session an extra effort will be made to educate both teachers and pupils in the real meaning of the thrift campaign now being waged in the interest of war savings stamps and certificates. Building Operations in Bellefonte. George A. Beezer broke ground on Tuesday for a new house he in- tends building on east Curtin street, where he purchased two lots from Col. J. L. Spangler opposite the new resi- dence of Dr. George P. Bible. Though he will not start building operations until spring the plans call for the first story of stone and the second of framework. Wilbur H. Baney broke ground on Wednesday for a new home on east Curtin street, on a lot he purchased adjoining the property he now occu- pies. Contractor Benjamin Bradley has completed the structural work on Ed- ward Funk’s new bungalow on Curtin street and on Wednesday started work on the S. D. Ray home on the same street. He expects to finish both houses during the winter so that they will be ready for occupancy by April first, next. . Escaped Prisoner Recaptured and Re-sentenced. Irving Voorhees, who escaped from the western penitentiary at Rockview on June 12th was recaptured at De- troit, Mich., the latter part of last week, brought to Bellefonte on the 1:26 p. m. train on Monday and at three o’clock the same day was taken before Judge Quigley and re-sentenc- ed to serve out his old term and another term of equal length with his original term, which was from two years and nine months to three years, all of which emphasizes the old saw that “murder will out,” and shows how foolish prisoners are to even at- tempt escape from the penitentiary. Voorhees was sent up from Erie on August 1st, 1918, hence had only serv- ed a little over ten months of his original term. When he and E. Bow- man escaped on June 12th they made their way over Nittany through Pennsvalley and across the Seven mountains, finally landing at Mt. Union. There they separated, Bowman going to Robertsdale and then Altoona, where he was recap- tured within two weeks. Before sep- arating Voorhees declared his inten- tion m the law. He managed to get there and got employment on a big lumber job and his undoing came one day last week when he was driving a | big truck and was unable to produce: a license on demand. He was imme- diately placed under arrest and the | of Pittsburgh no- enitentiary officials cnitentiary officials mountain, | of going to Michigan, if possible, | where he believed he would be safe, ; When Prices Were Different. | In these days of high wages and ‘high prices for everything it is in- i teresting to compare notes with what our ancestors were paid for work and what they paid for the necessaries of ! life. In this connection there was ex- hibited at the Clearfield county fair two weeks ago an old day book, for- merly the property of David Wesley Jones, who operated a sawmill and store along the pike, near Milesburg, this county. The book was started in April, 1820, and contains the ac- counts of a number of old-time Clear- fleld county people. According to the records the wage at that time for a man was 50 cents a day. Charles Huston received $1 for “making a harrow,” and received his pay in goods from the store. John MeclIn- tosh must have been an extra good hand, for he received $4 for five days’ work, the price agreed upon being 80 { cents a day and to be paid in trade. Andrew Gregg bought 2205 feet of | pine boards, for which he paid $18.05. ! It was good pine in those days, and if | Mr. Gregg wanted to buy the same | boards today he would pay $240. { Samuel Green got forty-four feet of the same boards for 33 cents. Joseph White traded fourteen ounces of feathers and received therefor half a pound of chocolate, 18% cents; one- fourth pound tea, (7% cents; two pounds butter, 25 cents. Jeseph Phil- lips got a pound and a half of cheese {for 19 cents, and a half pound of but- ter for 6 cents.

George Howard, who on the night of September 14th, while employed as night watchman at the Beatty Motor company’s garage took out the Buick car of W. C. Rowe for a little ride and completely wrecked the same, was also called before the court on Monday afternoon for sentence after he had signified his willingness to plead guilty. After the court had ex- plained to him the gravity of his of- | fence and young Howard had promis- ed not to do anything of the kind again he paroled him in the custody of Mr. Beatty on condition that he pay over to Mr. Rowe a stipulated sum every week until he had made good the damage to his car, and also pay the costs in the case, Mr. Beatty agreeing to give him his old job as night watchman at his garage. J. Willis Mann, arrested as a va- grant, was paroled in the custody of his brother, who agreed to see that he was properiy cared for. Gala Day in Football at Hughes Field Tomorrow. Two big and football are (Saturday) field. emy eleven, perhaps the strongest in| its history, will face the champion All Scholastic team of Altoona, which won from the Academy last Thanks- giving day by a close margin after a very exciting contest. At 4:15 o'clock the Bellefonte High school team, under the direction of Coach Stock, of Gettysturg College, will play their old rivals from the State College High school, and they will fight hard to win. Both games will be full of thrills and excitement. All lovers of foot- ball should attend these opening games and not only help the locals to win by their support from the side lines but also aid in defraying the heavy expenses incident to the two games. This promises to be the most event- ful year in the history of football be- cause of the return to school and col- lege of Uncle Sam’s boys from serv- ice on land and sea. The season is short, at best, and provides for a very few home games, so don’t miss a sin- gle game. Coach Alexander, of the Academy, is putting his charges through a gruelling drill each day to prepare them for the hard contests ahead. exciting games of staged for tomorrow afternoon on Hughes: At 2:45 o’clock sharp the Acad-! — eee Robbers Loot the Thompson Home. ‘For two years or more the old Thompson home at Centre Furnace, for years occupied by Moses Thomp- son and later by William Thompson and family, has been closed and sup- posedly barricaded against all intrud- ers. Two weeks or more ago mem- bers of the family went to the house to take a look through it and were absolutely astounded to find that the old family home had been looted from cellar to attic of practically every- thing of value it contained that could conveniently be carried or carted away, even including some of the choicest pieces of furniture. The Thompson home sits back from the road in a park of tall and over- hanging trees, the trees and shrub- bery almost concealing the buildings from the roadway. The robbers who despoiled the home gained entrance thereto through rear windows, and as the house has been closed for two years or more, there is hardly any likelihood of the robbers being traced and caught. The petty thieving has probably been done at odd times and may have heen the work of a number of people, who just went in and help- ed themselves to whatever caught their fancy. — — ——The first noticeable frosts in Centre county were observed on Sat- urday and Sunday mornings, but ow- ing to the dry weather and dense fog both mornings comparatively little damage was done. now | purchased four pounds of sugar for | 50 cents and that is about as good as he could do today, almost 100 years | later.

E. J. Dunn and family, of the | United Evangelical church, returned {home last week from spending the i pastor’s vacation on an automobile | trip to his old home at Martinsville, | Virginia, with side trips to Winches- | ter and Berkeley Springs. At the i latter place they enjoyed the pleasure lof a dip in the water from the hot | springs at that place which maintains a certain temperature the year around. But what surprised Rev. Dunn most on his trip was the apple ‘orchards of Shenandoah valley. When "he left there thirty-five years ago | there were a few scrubby orchards on ‘different farms while now thousands ' of acres are devoted to orchards, prin- ! ' cipally apples, and the crop this year Just hew big | | |is a tremendous one. can be judged from the fact that he | saw as many as ten cars standing on a railroad siding at one time to be filled with apples for shipment, and an almost continuous stream of big motor trucks hauling the fruit from the orchards to the cars. At Martinsville is located one of the biggest vinegar making plants in the country. Just what its capacity is Rev. Dunn did not ascertain but the fact that a year or two ago they sup- plied the Howard Heinz company with 2,500 barrels would indicate that it is rather extensive. A dozen huge rectified almost as clear as water by pumping through miles of pipe laid under ground. Apple growing now constitutes one of the paying indus- this summer Rev. Dunn’s brother was one of a party of eight men who formed a company and paid $200,000 for an orchard. Red Cross Notes. Chapter Red Cross have completed the quota of knitting that was as- signed them, and the same has been shipped for relief work abroad. We yarn, which we have been authorized to make into garments needed for lo- cal relief this winter. We are sure that our knitters will be interested in this work and yarn can be secured from Mrs. Waddle at any time. The annual Red Cross drive for membership will open Sunday, No- vember 2nd, and close on Tuesday, November 11th, the first anniversary of Armistice day. Every person in this Chapter must take a personal in- terest in renewing old memberships and securing new ones, so that we will not fail to enroll our full quota. The Red Cross needs the support of every loyal American in the great re- construction work it is doing, just as much as it did with the war work. The Lauderbach-Zerby compa- ny, wholesale grocers, have purchas- ed the Forest Bullock building on south Water street, now occupied by the Non-Alco Beverage Co., as a ware-house. We understand that the consideration was $3,000.00, and they are to be given possession on April 1st, next. It is their intention to use it only to relieve the congestion in their big ware-house on High street. Robert Roan closed the deal on Tuesday evening whereby he purch- ased from P. F. Keichline, agent, the Big Spring garage on south Water street for $5,000. Mr. Roan will op- erate it as a garage and continue his taxi business as usual. vats, much bigger than the ordinary water tank at a railroad, are used in which to age the vinegar, and it is tries of Shenandoah valley and just The members of the Bellefonte now have on hand a small quantity of | ELLEN D. BLANCHARD, Sec'y. Whiting—Shuey.—A very pretty home wedding took place at noon on Wednesday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey, on east Bishop street, when their daughter, Miss An- na Mulholland Shuey, was united in marriage to Mr. Lawrence Derland Whiting, of Louisville, Ky. Only members of the immediate families were present to witness the ceremony which was performed by Rev.

Cook, of Bellefonte, and Robert Mac- Dowell, of Kars. Miss Cook left Bellefonte on the 16th of last Febru- ary to do kindergarten work in Tur- key but did not stay long in that country, going to Kars, Russia, on July 16th, since which time she has had charge of two large orphanages there. Mr. MacDowell was born in the Far East. His parents are American missionaries and he was educated at Wooster, Ohio. During the past two years he has been connected with the English intelligence office at Kars and not only did good service during the | war but has been prominent in relief { work since.

Mr. | MacDowell’s parents are at present , engaged in missionary work in Per- sia. ——— Ishler—Coxey.—John B. Ishler, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ishler, of | State College, and Miss Helen Coxey, i a daughter of Mrs. Nannie Coxey, of i Boalshurg, were married at the Unit- | ed Brethren parsonage in Bellefonte at eleven o’clock on Tuesday morning | by the pastor, Rev.

Big Wedding Feast for Italian Couple. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sciabico, near the old glass works, was the scene of a big wedding feast on Sunday night given in honor of the marriage of Mr. Sciabico’s sister, Miss Marie Sciabico, to Joseph Rossi, the wedding having taken place two weeks previous in Williamsport. Be- tween eighty and one hundred invited guests were present at the dinner, which was quite an elaborate affair, and which was followed by dancing. { All in all it was one of the most en- joyable social affairs ever held among the Italian population of this vicini- ty. When the party broke up and the guests departed for their homes they showered the bride and groom with their best wishes for a happy wedded life. ——— Purchased Home for Aged People. The committee of the board of di- rectors of the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal conference who have had in charge the selection of a suitable place as a home for aged peo- ple of the Methodist church within the bounds of the above conference, on Tuesday purchased the buildings and grounds on Washington avenue, Tyrone, formerly the home of the late superintendent S. S. Blair. The build- ing is a brick structure, three stories in height, with all necessary outbuild- ings and ample grounds. Its capaci- ty is estimated at fifty people and possession will be given within thirty days. The purchase price was $16, 000. A superintendent and matron will be secured as soon as possible and the home opened for guests within a short time. Williams-
